Fullmetal alchemist is so funny to me bc this fucking kid who dresses like the worst emo 2008 hot topic cringecore is literally the smartest person in the entire country. He MET GOD yet exudes annoying atheist “my katana can cut through the Bible” energy. Mustang (his fucking boss) is very plainly is covering for the fact that he committed an unforgivable crime and yet he hates mustang so much it’s on fucking sight. The only time he talks to his crush is when he gets his ass kicked so bad he has to trudge home with his tail between his legs all “winry my arm no workee you can’t ask me why”

Why is this site called Tumblr?

It always amuses me that people think it's about how you sort of scroll through an endless jumble of images and stuff when the name is very obviously biblical.

טאמבלר is a plural modernization of the word טמבל, which is the biblical term for a silly person or fool, such as those worshiping the golden calf, the sons of Aaron who played with holy items and got fried by God, and Vernigloth of the Pseudepigrapha, who thought the thousand-eyed glowing winged being who told him not to be afraid was some sort of colossal rodent and ran away off a cliff to his death.

So basically in Biblical Hebrew, a "Tumblr" is a ship of fools, confederacy of dunces, or a massive heap of weirdos online. David Karp, who is not only Jewish but was born and raised in ancient biblical times, clearly chose the proper name.

"This genocide never happened! My sources are the people who allegedly committed it and some guy who never set foot in the country where it allegedly took place but does politically support the alleged perpatrators, so you know there's no bias there. Any information to the contrary is Nazi propaganda!" - Marxist-Leninists talking about the Holodomor

How does it feel to be an adult?

exhausting and everything is expensive

one of the most interesting/amusing/frustrating things about the people screaming about the erasure of history when statues commemorating terrible people are dismantled or destroyed, whether by official means of removal or by frustrated activists who have in nearly every case tried for years to get them removed without mob action, is of course that the majority of those who actually study history/art history/architecture/archaeology, particularly those of younger generations, find these arguments ridiculous

people with actual training and experience and knowledge of these statues generally recognize that the act of their destruction is without question the *most significant part of their object biography* whether it's the mass produced bronze statues of Confederate soldiers, generals, and political leaders erected as symbols of Jim Crow and post-Reconstruction terrorism of African-Americans, 19th or 20th century effigies of Christopher Columbus erected for the same purpose despite claims of being about Italian heritage, or statues of slaveholders like Edward Colston or even post-war statues of Churchill that made him into a figure of heroic nationalism while ignoring his colonial attitudes and actions and the fact that he wasn't actually a very good prime minister, these statues are significant *because of the messages they send*. correspondingly, the message sent by their destruction is the only other thing really worth caring about. those events tell us about the society that erected and destroyed them. little other information is there to be gathered, or lost.

putting aside the fact that history is not taught by statues, and that throwing a statue of Columbus in a lake is not going to cause us to 'forget' that colonial atrocities are Bad so we then massacre the indigenous peoples of Alpha Centauri, and the books and libraries like, exist, and that ISIS destroys statues thousands of years older than the United States or the United Kingdom as political entities, the only history that can be taught by them is to put a plaque on their empty pedestals explaining the horrendous social movements that put them there in the first place. If people want to look, they can. meanwhile, human beings descended from the victims of their atrocities don't have to walk to work with the statues of those monsters constantly reminding them that they aren't full members of the societies that tolerated them for so long
